Enrique Meneses Muñoz : LORD, may I never lose fear of you.
I love you my god.
Hello, Enrique! What a beautiful expression of love and reverence for God in your comment. As you mention, it is essential to maintain fear and respect for our Lord at all times. In Psalm 128:5 we are reminded that the Lord blesses us from Zion, and Ephesians 1:3 highlights that God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in Christ. These verses tell us about the love and blessing that come from God for those who fear and trust Him. I invite you to reflect on Charles Spurgeon's devotion to the importance of building the house of the Lord and promoting the good of the church. May your love for God motivate you to contribute to the growth and strengthening of His work. Blessings!
Francisco Diaz S.: The place where we gather to worship the Lord, to worship Him, sanctify Him, thank Him and ask for our needs, is called Church. And we must honor the Church that we build to the Lord, care for it and make it grow with our material and physical contributions. Who doesn't want to see their house or headquarters well organized and outstanding?
Hello Francisco! Your words reflect a deep understanding of the importance of the church as a place of worship and community. It is essential to honor and care for the house of the Lord, as mentioned in Charles Spurgeon's devotional. He points out that when God builds our house, we should also desire to see the house of the Lord built. Your comment resonates with the idea of contributing to the growth and care of the church, both with our material offerings and with our service and devotion. Just as you long to see your home in order and excellence, it is crucial that we also desire the same for God's house. May these reflections encourage us to actively participate in the strengthening and prosperity of the church. May the Lord bless you abundantly!

It is inspiring to recognize the greatness of those men and women of God who dedicate their lives to the service of the Lord and the building up of His church. As Charles Spurgeon mentions in his devotional, certain blessed men see the promise of blessing to them and the church fulfilled throughout their lives. It is an honor and a blessing to have people who, as you mention, are great in faith and dedication to God. May we all follow their example and contribute to the growth and strengthening of the body of Christ. May God continue to bless these great servants of His and all who follow their path of faith!

Ruth Vives : It is important for Christians to take care of their behavior and actions so that they please God. God Bless you. Amen.
: It is important for Christians to take care of their behavior and actions so that they please God. God Bless you. Amen.Hello Ruth! Your comment highlights a fundamental truth: as Christians, it is essential to take care of our behavior and actions so that they are pleasing in the eyes of God. As Charles Spurgeon mentions in his devotional, those who fear God and walk in holiness receive blessings and their lives are a testimony to the glory of God. In Ephesians 1:3 we are reminded that God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in Christ, and this should influence every aspect of our lives, including our behavior. May your desire to please God continue to be a beacon that guides your decisions and actions, and may His blessing and grace always be with you. May God bless you abundantly, Ruth! Amen!

: Therefore do not worry, saying: What shall we eat, or what shall we drink, or what shall we wear? (should we ask for financial miracles?) because the Gentiles seek all these things; but your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. (Matthew 6:31-33) God does not provide. Our salvation, our holiness was given to us by grace, we must always please the Lord, our Father with our actions. So that you may not become lazy, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises (Hebrews 6:12)

Thank you for sharing that powerful reminder from Scripture. In Matthew 6:31-33, Jesus teaches us to trust God and seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, trusting that He will provide for our needs. Your reflection on the importance of not worrying about material things, but rather seeking the will of God, resonates with Charles Spurgeon's devotion to how our lives should reflect a constant search to please the Lord. Furthermore, your mention of Hebrews 6:12 encourages us to be imitators of those who, by faith and patience, inherit the promises of God. May your focus on seeking the kingdom of God and pleasing Heavenly Father inspire others to live the same way. May God's grace continue to strengthen you in your walk of faith. Blessings!
